This is the time for a resilient society

We live in times of huge uncertainty. Wars, cyber threats, geopolitical tensions, and lightning-fast technological developments all pose complex challenges. This is a challenge we are facing as a society, as organisations, and as people.

At the same time, it shows us how resilient we can be if we pull together and continue to build trust, knowledge, and progress. How do we make sure that the Netherlands not only remains resilient, but emerges stronger from this era?

Our partners

At TNO, we believe the key lies in collaboration. That is why we work with partners such as the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Justice & Security, businesses, and other knowledge institutions every day. After all, security is not a given. It is something we need to develop and defend, using knowledge, technology, and vision.
